The First of September - A Timeless Tradition in the English Countryside
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving, created by Harrison William Weir in 1859, transports us back to a quintessential scene of leisure and camaraderie. Entitled "The First of September" it captures the excitement and anticipation surrounding partridge shooting season. In this Victorian-style artwork, men clad in traditional hunting attire gather amidst sprawling fields dotted with turnips. Shotguns cradled in their arms, they eagerly await the signal to commence their hunt. Accompanying them are loyal dogs trained for this very purpose – their keen senses poised for action. Weir's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life; from the vibrant hues adorning each character's clothing to the intricate engravings that depict rifles and guns with remarkable precision. The artist masterfully portrays both man and nature as integral components of this cherished pastime. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of a time when such pursuits were not only recreational but also an essential part of rural life. It serves as a testament to our enduring connection with nature and our desire to engage in age-old traditions that have shaped our cultural heritage. This exceptional piece from Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection evokes nostalgia while celebrating the artistry behind historical engravings. It invites us into a world where men sought solace among vast landscapes, bonding over shared passions under open skies on that first day of September - forever etched within these timeless strokes
